Do I want more or less basketball? More, thank you very much. Also, I love that we havr the 7 game series, I want the better team to win. I don't wanna hear all those "yeah well they were just lucky it's a 5 game series.” No thanks, I want to have the better team advancing.
One thing I do like is stretching the season and starting it earlier. I dislike back2backs because the other team might be suffering from fatigue. I don't wanna see teams resting players, I wanna see them playing.
And the teams with 50% attendance figures are crappy small market teams. Even if they had just 40 games in a season who wants to see them performing bad?

7 game series allow the better team to win more often, and that's a good thing. I also don't want the games to get reduced because it affects all time records.

also lower ticker prices
but that is US Sports, it is not about the fan.
When players and owners negotiate the CBA, they don't care about full stadiums or that the average fan can afford season tickets. They only care about squeezing the last penny they can out of the fan.

Show us the attendance figures, prove it.
Tbf attendance figures do not correspond to how many are present at the game. I bet many teams count the season tickets whether the person is there or not.
They count them because they SOLD them.
Sometimes they sell them cheap through various promotions. Sell =/= sell at face value.

Yes, but when the person does not arrive to the game it shouldn’t be counted as one attendant. There are sports events that actually count how many arrived to the game.
You mean like how Mark Cuban buys his own Mavericks tickets? I'd rather use the eye test.
He’s not buying half the area seats every game. He’s buy up last thousand or so to keep his sellout steak alive. Which I agree is cheating.
Most games are close to sellouts according to figures but we know this is far from the truth when looking at arenas.
Well if we are talking about revenue then they should. Because the season tickets would be cheaper if it was only 60 games.
